Tuesday 11th August.
We fly out today at 20.00 so lots of sadness and apprehension.
While looking through our travel documents we found some flight discrepancies between the itinerary and the tickets. The tickets show flight SK411 leaving at 19.00 whereas the itinerary shows a flight SK413 leaving at 20.00. Following Jim's sound advice, we checked on-line and could find no listing of a flight SK413. We phoned a help line back home and discovered we are on SK411 as SK413 was canceled months ago!
P-G came at 14.30 and took us all to Arlanda airport where we sorted out and confirmed the ticket mistake. We also reclaimed some tax for gifts we had bought.
As always, this isn't a very good time for all concerned! I suddenly reach a point when I know its the right time to say very quick farewells and just go, and that's what we did.
It still doesn't make it any easier especially when it could be a few years before we see them again.
We spent longer with Elin and Jim this trip and they really got under our skin and of course what makes it even harder is that we will miss the early part of our first Swedish grandchild's life.
Next stop Copenhagen.
